Blachere Illumination: A Family Story Since 1973

Our story

PASSION AT THE HEART OF A CRAFT

It all began in 1973, in Apt, at the heart of Provence. When Jean-Paul Blachère illuminated his first village, the smiles and faces of the locals confirmed to him that light has a unique magical power. He then turned this experience into a profession, a passion, and a craftsmanship that he continues to pass on with love and tradition. Today, we have grown and deliver our decorations to over 80 countries, supported by our 600 employees in France and across our 27 subsidiaries worldwide…
